Automation, custom CRM and AI agents for Denver service businesses.
Orium Studios, Sacramento, California, one hour behind the Front Range. Built for companies whose year is set by hail and snow, and whose licence is issued by the city rather than the state.
By Eugene Romanov·Published
Orium Studios, Sacramento, California, builds the Client Acquisition System for Denver service businesses: an AI receptionist for the afternoon a storm fills the line, a custom CRM with follow-up that survives an insurance claim, and the pages that turn a search into a booked inspection. We work remotely with Denver companies, one hour behind Mountain time. Work starts with a free check, then a $750 Client Acquisition Blueprint; websites run from $1,200 for a one-page landing and from $2,500 for a site with a page per service and city, and custom CRM starts at $4,500. We build it, you own it.

What the work looks like here.
A hailstorm is a season compressed into an afternoon
Along the Front Range a single storm can put a year's worth of roofing, siding, gutter and auto-glass demand on the phone in one afternoon, and the company that answers wins the street. The office cannot scale for that afternoon, and a line that rings out sends the job to the next truck on the block. The AI receptionist we build is for that afternoon: it records the address, the damage and the insurer, and gets a person back to the lead in order of arrival rather than in order of who shouted loudest. Every call lands as a lead with a storm tag, so the week after is worked from a list rather than from a pile of voicemails.
The insurance claim is the pipeline, and the state has rules for it
Storm work in Colorado runs through the homeowner's insurer, and the state's residential roofing rules shape the paperwork: a written contract, a cancellation window if the insurer denies the claim, and no rebating of the deductible. A pipeline with stages like new, working and won describes none of that. We build stages that correspond to real events: inspection done, claim filed, adjuster met, scope approved, supplement sent, built, final invoice. Each one has a date and a document, the follow-up is timed to the insurer's clock rather than to the owner's memory, and the contract clauses the rule requires live in a template nobody can trim. You and your lawyer put the rule in; our part is that it cannot be skipped by accident.
The licence comes from the city, so the system has to carry more than one
Colorado has no statewide general contractor licence; Denver issues its own, and so do many of the suburbs a crew works in. A company that works from Aurora to Lakewood holds several licences with several renewal dates, and the one that lapses is the one on the job site the day the inspector visits. We make the jurisdiction a record: its licence, its number, its expiry, its permit rules. A job inherits the licence for its address, the number lands on the estimate and the invoice for that city on its own, and a lapsed licence stops a job from moving to scheduled instead of being discovered at the inspection.
Winter moves outdoor work in batches, and the batch has to live somewhere
Snow shuts down exterior work for days at a time, and the jobs come back as a batch rather than one by one. A calendar that only knows cancelled and booked loses the batch. We build a reschedule as an operation with a return date and a reason, so a weather hold is a list the dispatcher reopens when the forecast clears rather than a dozen customers who each assume they were forgotten. The reminder goes out the evening before the new date, and the share of jobs that actually happen is a number you can read every Friday.
Remote, and one hour behind
We work from Sacramento, one hour behind Denver, so a Denver morning overlaps our whole working day and a decision made at four in the afternoon Mountain time is built that afternoon. The kickoff and the walkthrough of your current process run on a screen share with a written scope, and the Blueprint is delivered as a document you keep whether or not you build with us. In person is possible for a build and is a short flight.
What this page will not claim
This page names no Denver client, and we would rather say so than invent one. What exists and can be checked: three CRMs in production, 3,152 automated tests in the newest system, 424 database migrations, 30 guard tests written to fail against the exact bug they guard. That is the accurate answer, and it is available before you pay anything. This page has a Russian-language counterpart.
SHT-03Scope
Three things, and they are one system.
Custom CRM
A system shaped around how the business already works, instead of a subscription it has to bend to fit.
AI agents
A voice agent with a handoff to a person, reply classification, and follow-up that keeps going on business days.
Websites
A site that hands the lead to the system instead of to an inbox nobody reads on a Saturday.
SHT-03AThe system
The Client Acquisition System, for Denver businesses.
Three stages, Diagnose, Build and Run, and each one has a page of its own. Diagnose finds where the business leaks customers. Build puts up the pieces that stop the leak: the AI receptionist, the CRM with follow-up, and the pages that convert. Run works the channels every week for a flat fee. Any stage can be bought on its own; nothing is a condition of anything else.
- 01
The free check
Where the business is losing customers today: not found, nobody answers, nobody follows up. A written answer, the same day, with no call required.
- 02
Client Acquisition Blueprint, $750
Five business days inside how the business gets customers, and a written plan of what to build and in what order. Paid upfront as its own piece of work.
- 03
AI receptionist
For the hours the crew cannot be on the phone: takes the name, number and reason, reads the number back, and hands the lead to a person while it is still warm.
- 04
CRM and follow-up
One record per customer, follow-up that keeps going on business days, and a Monday report of leads and booked jobs by source.
- 05
The pages that convert
Pages that hand the lead to the system instead of to an inbox, with the phone number, the price and the next step where a visitor looks first.
- 06
Run retainers, $750 to $1,500 a month, multi-location from $2,500
One channel worked every week, or the full path from ad to booked job. A flat monthly fee, never a share of ad spend; the media is paid to Google or Meta directly.
SHT-04Quality assurance
What is actually running.
Three CRMs in production, 3915 automated tests across the three systems, 424 database migrations, and 30 guard tests written after a bug that types could not catch. On a build, the client owns the code and the database from the first commit.

SHT-06General notes
The questions people actually ask.
- N01Who builds custom CRM systems and AI receptionists for Denver service businesses?
- Orium Studios, Sacramento, California, working remotely with Denver companies one hour behind Mountain time. We build the AI receptionist, a custom CRM with follow-up and the pages that convert, as one system or one piece at a time. Custom CRM starts at $4,500 and takes 30 to 45 days; websites run from $1,200 for a one-page landing and from $2,500 for a site with a page per service and city.
- N02Can the system run a storm week?
- That is what it is built for. The AI receptionist is there for the hours the office cannot be. Each call lands as a lead with the address, the damage and the insurer, the week is worked from a list in order of arrival, and the follow-up is timed to the claim rather than to memory. The office is not asked to scale for one afternoon.
- N03Can the system hold the Colorado roofing contract rules?
- Yes. The written contract, the cancellation window if the insurer denies the claim and the deductible rule become a template the estimate is assembled from, with every version kept. We do not give legal advice: you and your lawyer put the rule in, and our part is that it cannot be bypassed by accident.
- N04We hold licences in several cities. Can the system keep them straight?
- Yes. Each jurisdiction is a record with its licence number, expiry and permit rules. A job inherits the licence for its address, the right number lands on that job's documents on its own, and a lapsed licence blocks scheduling in that city until it is renewed.
- N05Have you built for a Denver business already?
- This page names no Denver client. What can be checked is the engineering: 3,152 automated tests in the newest system, 424 database migrations, and 30 guard tests, across three CRMs in production. If a studio shows you a local case study, ask which one and check it.
- N06What does it cost, and where do we start?
- With the free check. Then a Client Acquisition Blueprint at $750: five business days and a written plan, paid upfront as its own piece of work. Website Build runs from $1,200 for a one-page landing and from $2,500 for a site with a page per service and city, and goes live in 10 to 14 days; custom CRM starts at $4,500 over 30 to 45 days, paid half to book the slot and half at launch. After launch, Run retainers from $750 a month are optional and month to month.
